A peppermint patty is a chocolatey piece of perfection: peppermint confectionery candy covered in dark chocolate. Though these candies were made for some time before the York Peppermint Patty came onto the market, it was Hersey Foods Corporation who made them famous in 1940 with the candies bearing the York name.

The York Peppermint Patty has a firm, crisp chocolate shell that doesn't leave a mess as peppermint candies had done  in the past. For this reason, peppermint patties gained nationwide popularity and success. People fell in love with their strongly contrasting flavors, bitter chocolate around a sweet, sugary center.

Did you know that peppermint patties also gained fame after being debuted as the nickname for Patricia "Peppermint Patty" Reichardt in Charles M. Schultz's comic strip Peanuts in 1966?

Happy Peppermint Patty Day!
